Major: Music Education (This Major's Salary over time)
When I interviewed at the VanderCook College of Music in Chicago to begin my work on an M.Mus.Ed degree, the dean remarked, "Well, you were a music ed. major and thus don't have the number of hours in pure music and also we're aware that BJU is not accredited nationally, but we've always been quite satisfied with BJU people here so you may enroll." Later, when I interviewed at Ohio State University (Columbus), I had no problem. Finally, at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's School of Sacred Music (the largest graduate school of sacred music in the USA), I received my terminal degree (DMA) without a problem. I noted that my BJU training helped me in all aspects of both my professional career in music and my continuing education and especially in my moral and spiritual aspects of life. I believe that the discipline and regimented life that students receive at BJU contribute to one's personal success.
